E3 2011: Microsoft Press Conference Start Time and Date

Last week we informed you of Sony’s official start date and time for their E3 2011 keynote conference, and now it’s Microsoft’s turn. The company has also just made things official and they will be starting at the very first opportunity.

Sony raised a few eyebrows when they were the first company to announce their E3 plans ahead of Microsoft and Nintendo, but we can tell you now that Microsoft’s press conference will still take place before Sonys, as reported from VG247.

Microsoft’s E3 press conference will take place on Monday June 6th, at 9am PST, 12pm for those of you on Eastern Time. Just to refresh, Sony’s keynote takes place on 5PM PST on June 6th, so once again, Microsoft has the opportunity to steal the limelight before Sony gets underway later on in the day.

Will Microsoft deliver this year though? Aside from Gears of War 3, Forza 4 and maybe a few other titles, nobody really knows what the company are planning – which is excellent. E3 is all about surprises, so we hope that they make it one to remember.

Will we see the Xbox 720 to counter Nintendo’s showing of the Nintendo Wii 2? It seems very unlikely but we definitely can’t rule it out. Let us know your expectations of Microsoft’s E3 event.
